Excellent, budget-friendly falafel wraps and salad boxes from a churchyard food truck; fast, friendly, and generous portions with minor consistency hiccups.
Just Falafels earns its A- grade through exceptional falafel quality—crispy, herb-flecked, and consistently praised as among London's finest—paired with outstanding service attentiveness and remarkable speed. Exceptional value at £5–6. 50 for generous portions strengthens its appeal, though occasional consistency dips and weather-dependent outdoor seating prevent the higher grade.
Tucked in the courtyard of St Pancras Church, this tiny truck serves falafel that many call best in London. Lines move fast, staff often hand out a hot taster, and the garden benches make a calm lunch spot steps from the stations. One diner put it simply: "Huge flavor for small money." The cooking is straightforward Middle Eastern street food: crispy, herb-flecked falafel, zesty salads, tahini and chili, with optional halloumi. Portions are generous and prices are unusually low for the area, though a few reports note the odd dry halloumi or rushed assembly on busy, rainy days. It is ideal for a quick, satisfying meal rather than a lingered sit-down. Families will do well here. Wraps, halloumi, potatoes, and mild sauces give kid-friendly choices, and you can sit on benches in the churchyard. There is no kids menu, but the medium wrap or sharing a salad box suits younger appetites without breaking the budget.
Area vibe: Central London academic/civic corridor near stations; busy weekdays, office workers and travelers.
Safety: Generally safe, high foot traffic by day; churchyard setting feels calm and maintained.
What's nearby: Near Euston and St Pancras stations, British Library, UCL; benches in church garden.
Portions and quality usually punch above the price, with most full meals under £9 and falafel widely praised as excellent value.
Expect a very casual, walk-up counter with outdoor benches only and queues that move fast but swell in good weather.
